Modern Vinyl was founded for one simple reason. To help true music fans find that record they so desired. When a record disappears from store shelves, is overpriced on Ebay and is being hawked by record flippers, you should be able to find other avenues to pick it up. Vinyl is made for the fans, not those looking to make a quick buck. Modern Vinyl is for the fans, created by fans.
